I Can Meet with Dead Scientists

Chapter 146: Historical Cell Observation (6.2k)_3



Although in the past days, the microscope has mostly been tinkered with by Xiaoli.

But this doesn't mean that Old Su isn't interested in biology, nor does it mean he doesn't know how to operate a microscope.

Quite the opposite.

When he first used a microscope, Old Su easily grasped the essentials, he just wasn't as deeply curious as Xiaoli.

You could see Old Su placing his eyes on the eyepiece, slowly adjusting the spiral knob...

At first, his vision was still a gray blur.

But gradually.

With a series of adjustments, the image became clearer.

About a minute later.

A suddenly appeared in Old Su's eyes a swarm...

Lively tadpoles.

That's right.

Lively tadpoles.

Seeing this, some of you might have figured it out:

The reason Xu Yun didn't stain the glass slides was because what he was showing Old Su was...

Sperm cells!

No choice.

As mentioned before, Xu Yun is someone who values a sense of ceremony.

So when observing live cells, he chose to respect history:

As everyone knows.

Hook discovered and named the cell structure, but what he saw were dead cell walls.

The one who truly observed living cells and started microbiology was Levin Hook.

However, in 99% of textbooks, after discussing Levin Hook's contributions, they won't go into detail about the cell names he discovered.

Because the process of Levin Hook discovering cells is somewhat 18X-rated:

On an autumn night in 1677, Levin Hook and his wife were engaged in the marital act, at one point ****.

But soon, Levin Hook's bold move appeared:

According to a letter Levin Hook sent to the Royal Society of the United Kingdom two years later.

He "jumped up immediately just a few seconds after climax," carrying the sperm sample straight to his microscope.

Under the microscope, Levin Hook saw "thousands of living tiny animals swimming around, as small as grains of sand".

Since then.

He called these things "animalcules".

Additionally, Levin Hook specifically pointed out.

This experiment sample was obtained through "normal marital intercourse," rather than "immoral purple granules".

He even went through the trouble of having the letter translated into Latin, though he didn't mention what his wife thought of this astonishing discovery.

This was not a fabrication, but a true story.

It is mentioned in the curriculum beyond high school level.

Actually.

In contemporary labs, almost every biology enthusiast has observed their own sperm cells.

Some female classmates even enjoy egging on the most handsome boy in class to donate a sample for everyone to observe, after all, a drop or two is enough for over 30 people.

Back when Xu Yun was a second-year grad student, he heard about a legendary person who operated like this, and was then publicly "commended" by the whole school.

As for the reason he got caught.....

To be honest.

Except for the final zombie method, observing one's own sperm is not particularly embarrassing.

After all, how many can resist such a temptation when faced with the might of Olympus?

The liquefied sperm cells are actually quite interesting, lively and swimming around.

This thrill is quite similar to those cliffhangers written by authors at Qidian...

Of course.

Xu Yun never did such a thing, it was something he heard from his friend Qiu Sheng.

As for the source of today's sample donation.....

Xu Yun lifted his head, looked at the donkey beside him, which was busy winding a clockwork toy, and sighed:

"Thanks for your hard work, Brother Lv....."

There will be more tonight, asking for monthly votes!!!! Aiming to break 4000!!!!
